Driving between Des Moines and Cedar rapids.
 

Hello everyone,

I hope everyone had a great thanksgiving...On Wednesday I will be flying into Des Moines Iowa, and plan on driving from Des Moines to Cedar Rapids, what driving conditions should I expect? Being from California I don't get to experience ice on the roads very often. Thoughts and opinions are greatly appreciated.

From Des Moines to Cedar Rapids, your best route would be I-80 east to I-380 north. It is largely flat, with some rolling hills.

I-80 is a major highway and stays open except in the harshest conditions.
Unless it is snowing or has snowed in the past few hours, your drive should be trouble-free. I don't see any major systems moving into Iowa in the next few days, so you should be fine.

How did the drive go?

Thank you for the help, hopefully the good weather will remain for the rest of the week, thank you.
